The G2D (in the i.MX8MM in our case) supports downscaling and upscaling (ref I.MX Graphics User's Guide) but does not specify what technique is used (ie. nearest-neighbour, bilinear etc).
Further testing on our part shows the scaling by the G2D API is *NOT* Nearest Neighbour, it is clearly a convolution of some sort, and results in a lot of distortion of any straightline content. It appears that the underlying hardware and galcore driver may support nearest neighbour but the G2D API implementation that is provided does not.
